Hospital reform: DGB demands better health care in Saxony!

In the debate about hospital reform in Germany, Daniela Kolbe, the deputy chair of the DGB Sachsen, made clear and clear statements today in Dresden. In her opinion, the reform should focus on people and ensure high -quality health care. She emphasized that it was essential in both urban and rural areas of Saxony to align the supply offers to the needs of the population and ensure the quality of health services.

Kolbe is critical of the current financing of the hospital reform, which should be done almost exclusively by legally insured persons and the federal states. "That can't work," she said. In their opinion, everyone has to benefit from the structural reform, so financing through taxes should also take place. This approach would mean that privately insured and wealthy citizens are also asked to check out to secure health care. Another aspect she appealed is the increasing contribution rates that could result from such financing - a perspective that many concerns.

financing and support of health care

KOLBE called for the state government to moderate the upcoming process well and to integrate local actors into the planning. In structurally weak regions of Saxony, uncertainty regarding future health care is particularly pronounced. "We have to make sure that all voices are heard and people's concerns are taken seriously," she said. She made it clear that it is also important for the future stability of the contribution rates to comply with the promises of the Federal Government. In particular, she addressed the need for fair funding for citizen gates, which could bring massive relief for health insurance companies. At least there were more than nine billion euros that need to be taken into account.

The proposal is also important to reduce the VAT rate for pharmaceutical, healing and aids to 7 percent. Kolbe sees an essential measure to support patients in this reduction. She appealed to those responsible to finally implement the necessary measures so that health care in Saxony and beyond can be secured at a high quality level.

The reform is not only a central point in the political landscape, but also a measure that directly influences the life and health of the citizens. The focus is on the discussion about the correct financing and quality of medical care, and those responsible are invited to find solutions that do justice to both the public and private sector.
